r/kettlebell

I thought it was cool so I'd share.

Really wanna pick up a single powder coated kettlebell, but $40 shipping? Dang

Side note - anyone know where I can buy one locally in LA? Hahaha

Been rocking the most effective snatch program I’ve run and it’s yielding pretty solid results here.

Insane bicep pump from the cleans. Broke up the work with 20+15+15+5x10 reps. Reps 21-90 at 2x speed.

100 rep snatch test in 7min 30sec, 32kg.

First round of 5 shown. 30sec rest between each round.

Been working abc for a few months. Think I’m ready to go up in weight from 16kg to 24. Hell of a workout - 15 rounds EMOM 2x/week with pushups, swings, squats, farmer carries 1x. Then flip the next week.

Long time lurker, first time posting.

Working out after a very long break.

Did some swings and cleans.

Looking for feedback on form.

It looks very loose and not as crisp as the ones I see here.

Much appreciated.

Thank you.

Hey guys! Ended up doing a pentathlon with /u/toughlovekb on Thursday. Had zero desire to do one beforehand, but zero regrets when it was over 😊 Those are the best days.

I went super light (like probably the lightest I’ve ever gone 😔) but it was definitely the right choice. Used a 16 for cleans and 12 for everything else. Hit max reps on everything -

120 cleans
60 c+p
120 jerk
108 half snatch
120 push press

It’s funny how those numbers will be forever embedded in my brain. I see them in my dreams.

And it sounds like we might keep pent in rotation so maybe next time I’ll use a 14. I have an adjustable that I ALWAYS forget about, that would let me get some work in with the in between sizes. Oops lol.

Finally got around to using the the kb sport pro app too, and I’m loving it! Still getting used to paying attention to it talking to me, but it’s a legit lifesaver for counting reps. It also shows you your score against the different ranking tables which is such a time saver. I used to have to sit there and look up all the tables individually which was such a pain in the ass lol.

I know I keep complaining about being out of “GS shape,” but this feels like my baseline. Like something I could do without any hassle on any random day. Light pent, 10’ of LC/biathlon/DHS with the 8s and probably any half marathon with a 12. Pacing is obviously an issue, but surviving is feasible. Anything heavier would require some work, but I’m happy with that standard. No idea why, but I’ve become obsessed with establishing baselines lately 🤦🏽‍♀️🤣

Anyways, this post was really just supposed to be your weekly reminder about KettleZoom tomorrow. 8 am Pacific Time, with a sport focus but anyone is welcome to come 😁 Link with more info here!

5’ biathlon with the 24’s for me and 4kg OALC and 4kg Snatch for the kid. The jerk portion with the 24’s was mentally and physically draining but snatch felt nice!

Full body strength and conditioning with one 32kg kettlebell, my favorite way to train.

This one hits full body as always and focuses on unilateral strength and stability and explosive power.

If you give it a try let me know how it goes.

Psalm 51:1-17 KJV

“Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: According unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions. Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, And cleanse me from my sin. For I acknowledge my transgressions: And my sin is ever before me. Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: That thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou judgest. Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; And in sin did my mother conceive me. Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: And in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom. Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. Make me to hear joy and gladness; That the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice. Hide thy face from my sins, And blot out all mine iniquities. Create in me a clean heart, O God; And renew a right spirit within me. Cast me not away from thy presence; And take not thy holy spirit from me. Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; And uphold me with thy free spirit. Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; And sinners shall be converted unto thee. Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation: And my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness. O Lord, open thou my lips; And my mouth shall shew forth thy praise. For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: Thou delightest not in burnt offering. The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: A broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.”
